I love code which is stable and rigorous, I just don't feel that unit testing is the most effective way to achieve it.

Distributed computing divides work among multiple computers and can provide scalability, but it's not a silver bullet. Compute-intensive jobs and those operating on large data sets or databases can exhibit unacceptable execution times...
I've just made a new commit to the Heron code base which has a lot of new functionality for dealing with lists. While I am not quite ready to make a new release of Heron, anyone interested can sync to revision #88 to try out the new list handling code in Heron.
Performance, reliability and security continue to challenge system architects, as they have throughout the era of distributed computing. For systems with a database and network infrastructure, the performance, reliability and security challenges today are substantial...
